Testimonials from recent customers of U-Haul at East Colfax

Their retail space was a bit small, but had everything I needed for a small scale apartment move.
Also, the 15' truck I was rented handled well and the ramp on the back was very helpful. However, the gas mileage was low (~10 mpg) and the "Need Oil Change Light" came on around 500 miles. In addition, the truck seemed to struggle from a stop (even a warm stop) and at times seemed stuck in low gear. I think it could use some time with a mechanic.

I found this location on the internet based on where I needed to move to. The info and pricing on the internet was accurate, and when I got on location the counter person was friendly, helpful and made a couple good suggestions. The equipment was nearly new and I didn't want to wash my shirt because the 'new car' smell would go away. Great location, clean and inviting. I would highly recommend using this vendor for a stress free experience.

The wait time for returning the truck was long due to the lack of employee staff that Saturday afternoon. Other than that, I was pleased with the service I received.

Despite Handing my license directly to the man at the counter it took more than 6 tries for him to be able to correctly type in my address. the first three times I tried spelling the street name for him and when I got tired of repeating myself and handed him my license telling him he could make it easy by just copying the info he walked off for a few minutes in a huff after telling me I had an attitude problem. When I came to return the equipment the same man was alone with a line 7 people deep, given how long it took him to insert a correct street name I just dropped my trailer back in the spot I got it from and left. I tried calling in to say I had brought it back and was only able to talk to someone off site after sitting on hold for 5 minutes. Worst uhaul experience ever, never renting from uhaul again

Employees were very friendly and helpful, but it was a bit chaotic and service was slow.

On the first of the month, make sure you have more than one employee there in the morning! I waited in line for 30 minutes on my moving day.

You need to have more staff, there was only one person working both at pickup and drop off, and it took a long time to get my order taken care of.

The building said that it opened at 7am and I stood outside until 7:15am for them to unlock the door and open. The guy that was there was rude. I told him that I may need supplies and he didn't offer me any help with. It was a bad experience and I left upset with choosing Uhaul again for my move.

Waited 20 minutes to turn in vehicle when returning van...one employee very helpful and curteous, one employee extremely out of his element and incompetant.

The guy who "helped" me check in was dis-interested and scanning his cell phone while talking to me. I said thank you for getting the truck and he just walked off staring at his phone He then was paying so little attention he got me the wrong truck from what he was supposed to. When I discovered this after I had left I came back and told him and he said he would change it and send me an email......he did neither. The truck was fine and worked well. When I returned there were different guys. They didnt know anything about the situation with my wrong truck, because he had not told them. However, the two gentlemen who were there did EVERYTHING possible to make the situation right. I appreciate the work they did but, the first guy made a horrible impression.

I was over "authorized" for 3 days on a simple utility dolly rental. My appointment to pick up was at 3pm but they were understaffed and I didn't actually end up picking up my rental until 4pm, yet they still started it at 3pm. When I returned it, it was never checked in or charged appropriately. I received a phone call asking when I was going to have the dolly back to the store. I called back and explained I returned it yesterday. 40 minutes later, I was charged double and immediately called to have it removed. They did remove it, however I wonder if they would've noticed the mistake on their own. I'll be going to other Uhaul locations if I need them in the future.

Employee at check in was of little help when I returned the truck and trailer. He was unwilling helping me find an easy way to drive the truck and trailer in for the return.

I was poised for time. There was one person ahead of me when i arrived. I ended up waiting almost twenty minutes while the attendants went the extra mile for this lady. It would've been nice if they could've managed their time and attention better. It was mostly because one of them was about to be done for the day and didn't want to get tangled up in another super involved ordeal. I totally get it but it meant that i as a customer had to pay with my time because these guys are only going to do one thing at a time. Maybe I'm not in the know though. Maybe the lady ahead of me was justifiably more important than me. Maybe the attendants were mildly retarded and only capable of handling one task between Hythe two of them. I don't know. What i do know is that their bumbling cost me literally twenty minutes almost. No exaggeration. Like i said i was pressed for time so i was well aware of how much had passed. I waited patient but i wanted to curse both of them out.

While the U-box price was much better than the competition, I don't know that I would use them again. While the overall process is simple, the customer service has made the process a difficult one. Mainly I disliked that when you called the phone number for a specific location, you were sent to a general help desk that could not actually assist with most issues. I wanted to get to my U-box to load a few more items and I could not get a hold of the office directly and when I went into the store, nobody knew where my box was because it was not updated in the computer correctly. Staff definitely needs to be better educated and PLEASE get each location a dedicated phone number!

The rental of a van to assist with my family's moving to a new house was flawless. And the van was very easy to operate. The personnel at this U-Haul location were very helpful.

Your employees should be thieves!!! I locked the truck and put the keys in the dropbox, accidentally leaving my phone inside. I got my phone the next day but my stylus was missing. I used it before I exited the vehicle, so I know I had it. But the clerk insisted that I must of dropped it. I let it go since its not worth the trouble. If uhaul employs are thay hard up and dishonest, there's plenty of other companies to use. Denver East colfax location, YOU SUCK!! $

I ended up only needing to move a vehicle ten miles my total cost was $85!! For ten miles. Little high I think. From the time I made my reservation to the time I dropped off the tutck and trailer not one employee made eye contact. One guy was on his phone the whole time. You could do better uhaul

Our last experience with one of the employees was disappointing. He was pretty unfriendly and said he would charge us because of garbage in the cab "an empty plastic bag" and what he said was a dirty back of the van. I did take a broom to it and noticed a spot of dirt approx. 4 inches in diameter....but c'mon man!! It seemed as though he was not at all interested in doing his job. I was not made aware that we needed to take the shop vac to it!!!

When I arrived, it was obvious that an employee had been to the store, as the snow was shoveled and salt was on the sidewalk to prevent ice from forming. But the doors were locked, and after at least 10 minutes of me knocking on the door, no one answered. I then returned to my car and waited another 5 minutes to see if an employee would show up. I drove around the parameter of the Uhaul location-- no one was there to help me. Once someone finally showed up, I was told that the reason there was no one at the store was because the store was under construction and the person who was supposed to be there had to go to the bathroom somewhere off site.

The truck was filthy and smelled strongly of cigarette smoke, the one kid working at the location seemed over worked and had issues with customers that required the customer in front of me to have to wait hours for the manager to arrive. Hopefully the staffing levels where just low in the morning, but not having a manager on duty is inexcusable. That being said the one overworked employee seemed to really hold his own despite everything working against him.

make sure that everyone is can give an answer to any questions promptly instead of hesitation or tell the customer that you will get someone that can answer that question. Know the ends and out about your profession. But overall experience was well. Thank you and see you in the future.

Even though the staff is working hard, it's a slow process to pick up the truck. Even the online check-in didn't speed up the process much.

The location was not open at 9am. Customers were waiting outside and when the store clerks finally arrived, they did not apologize for being late. We drove a total of 10.1 miles. According to the store clerk, the trucks get 8-10 miles to the gallon. However, when we refueled before returning the truck, we paid $15! Clearly, we did not have a full tank when we received the truck, and yet, it read FULL. They were indifferent to our complaint and were unwilling to consider adjusting our balance.

The truck was awful and was so out of alignment!!!
When we returned the truck we pulled in where we were suppose to. Guy comes out and tells of us move it to another location which was very difficult due to the parking problems at this location.
